The School of Engineering & Digital Arts is part of the Faculty of Sciences and prides itself on offering excellent teaching in an environment which is also supporting world-class research in the subject areas in which we teach. We have an excellent track record of achievement in teaching, in research, and in enterprise-led activity, and we maintain strong working contacts with Academic and Industrial Organisations within the UK, in Europe, and worldwide.

The School was founded in 1966 as the Electronics Laboratory, becoming the School of Engineering and Digital Arts (EDA) in 2009 to better reflect the breadth of its disciplinary base. This combination of digital arts with engineering and technology in one school is a unique characteristic of the School. Within the Faculty of Sciences, it is located in the Jennison Building on Canterbury campus, a building which has recently undergone a complete refurbishment and expansion programme making it accessible to all and enabling greater interaction between staff and students. The Jennison building is a focus for academic and social activities within the School which lends to a strong sense of community. Being a relatively small School ensures that staff and students work in a friendly environment, offering an inspiring and challenging student experience within the beautiful and historic city of Canterbury.
